MD Nazrul Islam: An Independent Voice for Plaistow South

MD Nazrul Islam, a resident of Plaistow South for 16 years, is a local business owner and active community volunteer. He runs an estate agency in Newham, giving him firsthand insight into local housing and community issues.

Committed to supporting residents, especially youth and vulnerable groups, Nazrul pledges to be an independent and practical voice for the people.

With deep roots in the community, Nazrul has long been involved in local initiatives, from supporting neighbourhood improvement projects to providing guidance for young people entering education and employment. His work reflects a strong belief that councillors should serve the real needs of residents—not political party interests.

As part of the Newham Independents, Nazrul is standing up for fairer housing policies, investment in youth services, safer streets, and cleaner neighbourhoods. He is determined to address everyday concerns such as the rising cost of living, lack of affordable homes, and the need for more opportunities for families and young people.

Nazrul’s independent approach means he is free to challenge the council where it fails residents, while also working constructively to deliver practical solutions. Guided by values of fairness, accountability, and community empowerment, he is committed to ensuring that Plaistow South has a strong voice at every decision-making level.

“Plaistow South is a vibrant and diverse community, but too often its needs are ignored,” said Nazrul. “I will work tirelessly to make sure local voices are heard, and that real action is taken to improve housing, services, and opportunities for everyone.”
